We just added a list of the taxonomic orders in the subclass Neornithes, or modern birds. This list uses the traditional classification (the so-called Clements order), revised by the Sibley-Monroe classification. The subclass Neornithes has two extant superorders: Palaeognathaeand Neognathae. All modern bird orders are listed, and will be extended with factsheets of many bird species, categorized by order.
